Rebecca Mac String Band in concert July 1 at The Boston Synagogue
The Boston Synagogue’s BackRoom presents Rebecca Mac String Band, offering a fusion of Eastern European folk and klezmer music, on Wednesday, July 1, at 7 p.m. at The Boston Synagogue at 55 Martha Road.
Rebecca Mac String Band celebrates the debut release of their highly anticipated album, ‘Night Bird.’ Led by the visionary Boston-based violinist Rebecca Mac (of the award-winning klezmer ensemble Mamaliga), this ensemble is one of the most electrifying new groups on the klezmer scene today. In ‘Night Bird,’ Rebecca explores the deep connections between her Ashkenazi Jewish heritage and the traditional folk music of Eastern Europe, creating a sound that is simultaneously haunting, joyful, and whimsical.
